Sealord says the current Fisheries Act regulations are no longer fit for purpose.  

Consultation's open on changes to the Act to allow catch limits to be more readily altered and let camera-fitted boats dump unwanted catch at sea. 

If agreed on, the public would no longer be able to access fishing boat surveillance camera footage through official information requests. 

Chief Executive Doug Paulin told Mike Hosking there's no longer so much need for such strict oversight.  

He says they now have digital reporting, vessel locators going to MPI daily, and cameras on many of the fishing boats.
